Grilled Sesame Tofu with cracked fennel

Method

1. Start by prepping your soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh ginger so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the leeks and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the sesame tofu, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the kosher salt along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with cracked black pepper right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
